Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] rtlwifi: rtl8723ae: avoid accessing the data mapped to streaming DMA
In rtl8723e_tx_fill_cmddesc(), skb->data is mapped to streaming DMA on
line 531:
dma_addr_t mapping = dma_map_single(..., skb->data, ...);
On line 534, skb->data is assigned to hdr after cast:
struct ieee80211_hdr *hdr = (struct ieee80211_hdr *)(skb->data);
Then hdr->frame_control is accessed on line 535:
__le16 fc = hdr->frame_control;
This DMA access may cause data inconsistency between CPU and hardwre.
To fix this bug, hdr->frame_control is accessed before the DMA mapping.
